3. Check with your recruiter, education benefits change.
Something the military doesn't use as a selling point that they should are the lifetime medical benefits you get through the Veteran's Administration. Health insurance costs a fortune, the VA almost nothing.
Just because you're going into the Army doesn't mean you have to be an infantryman or a combat arms unit, look at some of the other choices of training available. Keep your head down.
I went into the Army immediately out of high school, and after the military, college was a breeze. You won't have to be told the same thing twice after the Army gets done with you.

.... to add to this, if I may. Chose a career in the military that you can benefit from when you get out, for example... an aircraft jet engine mechanic. Check to see how much they make annually in the civilian sector. How do you use that career choice after the military?
Being young (once) and looking for adventure... you will get your fair share should you do something like a rifleman, tank gunner, etc. I chose the adventure part and always ended up in the wrong place at exactly the wrong time... luckily to still be on this planet. Make your choices wisely.
Keep your head down and your chin up... You get the idea..
